[E] [B]
In those days, touring with the Stones [Bm] [Em] was in some ways quite a [B] casual kind [N] of affair.
I mean, it was the first tour of that type they'd really done in America.
And that's one of the reasons they needed a replacement for Brian Jones, because they
needed a good guitar player that could go on the road [G] and be part of the group.
Because prior to that, I think they'd been doing shows where they'd play for 20 minutes
or, you know, kind of like the Beatles, really.
They hadn't played for two [Abm] years.
When I started [G] playing with them, we were playing, you know, it was stadium rock.
You know, we were playing for an hour and 15 minutes, and the sound systems were better,
and we had to play good.
I got a [N] phone call, and Mick asked me to go down to the studio, and I played on
They'd finished [G] most of the album.
And they asked me to play on
Well, I [E] played
I ended up playing on about three or four [Ab] tracks, I think.
[N] We were in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, recording.
We recorded Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, and something else.
And I suppose after that, we would have returned to England.
But then this idea of doing a free show in San Francisco came up.
It was all arranged on the telephone from Alabama.
We didn't really know
We didn't have anything to do with, actually, the organization of it.
I don't remember what time we went on.
I know a lot of people seemed to be getting aggravated, because we were
You know, they thought we weren't there, or perhaps we were going on later than we should have done.
But we actually arrived there
I don't know the exact time, but I mean, I remember being there for at least two or three
hours before we even played.
I think Jefferson Aeroplane [Db] was
[E] [A]
You could [Bm] see that it was chaos, and that [Ab] people were getting pushed around and beaten up.
There was an atmosphere of violence, but [Dbm] I mean, nobody [B] really [Gb] expected it to turn out like that.
[E] I know the stage was very low.
It was kind of like a stage you'd play on in a club.
It [Abm] wasn't big.
I think it was actually just about four or five feet high.
[Db] And the audience went up like that, so they were [E] sort of looking down at you.
It wasn't very good.
It's difficult to know what to do in a situation like that.
I mean, you can't walk off and stop playing.
We did actually see this [D] guy in a bright sort of lime green [A] suit, you know, try and run
towards [Abm] the stage, but nobody had any [Am] idea at the time that he [E] had a [Am] gun.
[D] We kind of saw him [B] bundled over to the ground.
[E] Listen, either those cats [B] call it, man, or we don't play.
Me and [Am] the rest of [A] the guys were just, you know, glad that [G] we got through it, really,
and obviously sorry that it turned out the way it did.
But I mean, it's [Bm] not something you develop on, you [D] know.
[C] There [Bm]
are a lot of reasons why [Em] I quit, you know.
I've never actually regretted [Ab] quitting.
It was a great experience.
Yeah, I had been influenced by them a lot.
Sure I have.
I mean, [N] I mean, I've been influenced by all sorts of things.
But yeah, I was influenced by them too.
I thought the way me and Keith Richards played
